ALOHA
I oppose Item #4 because I support Council Member Cindy Evans'
proposed telecommunications ordinance, Bill 194, which had already been
forwarded to you. The new ordinance proposed by the Director is too
sympathetic to the telecommunications industry with not enough
protections for our community.
It gives almost total power to Planning and Telecom with no other
agencies or experts involved! It rushes the approval process to only 30
days! It has no provisions to protect us against 5G small cells! It freely
allows towers at schools, playgrounds, and day-care centers!
Please, consider Council Member Evans’ proposed ordinance, which has
clear, attainable requirements. It is the perfect balance between the
health, safety, and welfare of the people and the needs of the tech
industry.
ALOHA, JOANNA WEBER
